Matt:

Images should be loaded via getResource() and/or URL mechanisms which
means that the get stored relative to the class that is using them.

For example, if you have a borland.jbcl.control.ButtonControl and
wanted to load an image for it, you would store (and look for it) in
the borland.jbcl.control location.
